The HotelClinging to the West Cliff of Whitby, The Riviera resides amid a row of white seaside guesthouses and faces out towards the waves of the North Sea. The family-run guesthouse's bedrooms, a number of which have recently been refurbished, blend classic and contemporary decor, and all come equipped with televisions and en suite bathrooms. Downstairs, the restaurant is bedecked with polished wooden furnishings and crisp white tablecloths, as the staff fix up full English breakfasts and freshly brewed beverages.

Groupon RecommendsTake a morning stroll down to the town's twin grade-II listed piers before heading to the Captain Cook Memorial Museum, the former home of the eponymous ship owner, now containing personal maps, letters, and etchings from the South Seas. Next, make your way up the 199 steps leading to the Benedictine ruins of Whitby Abbey, the monastery which served as inspiration for Bram Stoker's Count Dracula, before entering St. Mary's Church, filled with skewed galleries and box pews.

For something a little artsy, head back over the bridge to the Whitby Museum & Art Gallery before skipping down the winding, mediaeval streets of the town and grabbing a bite to eat in one of its many restaurants and pubs. Meanwhile, those seeking a taste of the great outdoors can venture out into the surrounding high ground of the North York Moors, to which Whitby provides an apt portal.
